Faith is not a force, as God is not our cosmic bell boy that obeys our positive confessions and spoken words!

God created the Universe period, he did not use faith, as its by faith we realise God is Creators, not that he used faith in creation!
God gave them to us for healing purposes!
Your theology. of the WoF are the unbiblcal thoughts!
All physical healing is promised to us in the resurrection, not here and now!
WoF teach the heresy that God needed and used faith to create the Universe, so we can do the very same things, as we are exact copies of Him"little gods", some like Hagin even see us as much an incarnation of God as Jesus was!
The Holy Spirit can convict and reprove without needing signs and wonders!
Your quote of the verse has nothing to do with the topic. You butchered the scriptures to abuse it as a prooftext. One just wonders how you could twist it so badly in your attempt to discuss healing or monetary wealth accumulation.You have given example of a foolish person who quotes an entire chapter without stating whether he considers healing as a spiritual or material blessing.
The purpose of Hebrews 11 is to get to Hebrews 12.Some of the people of God listed in Hebrews 11 received blessings and some chose to suffer expecting to be blessed at the resurrection. But both the blessings and sufferings were received through faith in the truth that God blesses those who seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). Both groups never denied this faith.
Similarly, faith in Christ's atonement fulfils the desires like either be healed or remain sick expecting healing after resurrection. But if either of the desire is fulfilled apart from faith in Christ's atonement to heal, God is not pleased.
Many use Hebrews 11 to justify suffering but don't see the blessings that were also received by faith. Moreover they deny faith through which people are blessed as they don't see the blessings that were received through faith in Hebrews 11. Why? It is because they wrongly think sufferings please God. But it is faith which pleases God. They don't realise if God was pleased by sufferings, He would have created Adam/Eve with sufferings!
Your health and wealth teachers are just fleecing Christians out of their monies, and they will be held accountable by God for their demonic theology and money grabbing!Don't be a hypocrite by judging others as lusting when they seek healing,
when you lust by seeking medical doctor for healing?
Don't be a hypocrite by judging others as lusting when they have wealth,
when you lust by seeking & clinging on to your wealth by not selling them and giving them to the poor.
You works-truster, the Lord has already required you to do even more by giving your life according to 1John3:16. So don't sit as a hypocrite expecting the Lord to require you to do so while you take the liberty to judge others!
God can choose to heal whenever he wants to, but its not a promise to all in this life, but is promised to all in age to come!How does God grant merit for you to be healed except through Christ's atonement as stated in Isaiah 53:4?
How much of the finer things of this earth did Jesus have? or Paul?So you have reserved the right to define how much wealth and health a christian should have to suit your convenience, you hypocrite?
The true Gospel works everywhere it is preached and taught, but this WoF health and wealth only works here in America, as it appeals to greed and lust!The purpose of Hebrews 11 is to get to Hebrews 12.
Hebrews 12:1-3 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
Jesus is the one who gives us faith and finishes our faith. The entire purpose of Hebrews is to exalt the truth that Jesus is greater than all things.
Yet, here you are, cheapening that truth by glorifying your self and claiming greatness toward humans who are physically healed and made monetarily wealthy.
What you are teaching is a perverse message from hell. I cannot be less direct than this with you as it seems a biblical 2x4 between the eyes may be the only means by which your delusion is broken.
As adopted children of the King, we already are seated at the right hand of God our Father. Why would we waste our energy on accumulating wealth and health on this outpost of a planet where we are but flowers blooming for a moment's time?
Ephesians 2:5-7 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
Get some perspective, sir. We are princes already in the presence of the King. It matters not whether we are healthy or wealthy on this planet. We are already made right in the presence of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Enough with your selfishness. Be gone if you cannot accept the providential goodness of God.
John stated that we have what we ask of him IF it be His will, correct?Mark 9:23: ":23 Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."
